I’d like to thank Aaron Hefling. The only piece of advice that worked for me!
I rebooted my mac in safe mode (Holding down the shift key), however and got past the evil partition error notice, however the windows installer was unable to be recognized. I pressume because it is in safe mode. However when i rebooted the computer normally i was able to kick off bootcamp from were it was left off, allowing me to read the windows installer.

Thank you Aaron

@aaron hefling,

What is safe mode actually ? if i go in safe mode, can i get out of there ? When i install windows 7 with boot camp in safe mode, then go back to normal mode, will boot camp still work ?

what if the application takes up the largest space(photoshop etc)? after transfer these applications from harddisk back to macbook, will they still work?

How large does the video files need to be? I’ve got a 128GB iTunes folder – does that make a difference?

SOLUTION!

here’s what i did after a few hours of tinkering around and not wanting to wait for defrag… Turn off your mac, hold shift and reboot. Mac boots into safe mode and bootcamp assistant works fine!
